Fig. 1: GM35 system overview

• Sender/receiver unit (SR-unit)

Contains the main optical and electronic subassemblies of the measuring system. The

gas concentration is recorded here and the measured value determined. Components

CO or N

O, CO

and H

O are measured, both singly and simultaneously in combinations.

• Measurement reflector

Version with a gold-plated hollow triple for the following distances (flange on SR side to

flange on reflector side):

0.5 to 1 m, 1 to 2.3 m, 2.3 to 4 m, 4 to 6 m, > 10 m

• 2 purge air units

Provide purge air for the SR-unit and the reflector and therefore protect against

contamination and high gas temperatures. The blower types for the SR-unit resp.

reflector are designed differently depending on the application.

• Purge air fixtures for the SR-unit and reflector

To fit the SR-unit and reflector on the mounting flanges. These include the purge air

connections to connect the purge air hoses from the purge air unit and sockets for the

connection cable as well as to connect external sensors (purge air unit filter monitor,

temperature sensor PT1000, on the SR side)

• Evaluation unit

The evaluation unit in the GM35 measuring system serves as user interface and

prepares and outputs the measured values and performs control and monitoring

functions. The EvU can be installed near the SR-unit; if necessary, however, it can also

be installed up to 1000 m from the measuring point, e.g. in a central control/monitoring

room in an industrial plant.

2.2.1 GM35 options and accessories

• Cover plate for purge air fixture of the sender/receiver unit

to maintain purge air supply in cases where this must remain in operation at the

measuring location when the SR-unit is dismounted.

• Weatherproof covers for SR-unit and purge air unit

required for outdoor installation – dimension drawings, see “Dimension drawings”,

page 116.

• Chart recorder, single or multi-channel

for measured value recording. Protocol(s) can of course be produced using customer sys-

tems.

• Air heater for purge air supply

for special application conditions to prevent condensate. An air heater is required when

the difference between gas temperature and dew point temperature is too low. The

following practical rule of thumb serves as guideline:

An air heater is required when

gas temperature [°C] – dew point temperature[°C] < abs. humidity [%].

Values are compared without considering the units of measure.

A Data Sheet for the fan heater is also available under Part No. 8 008 330.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

2.3 Functional principle

2.3.1 Opto-electronic in-situ measuring principle

The Gas Analyzer GM35 is based on the in-situ technique using opto-electronic direct

measurement. Measured values are recorded through no-contact measurement directly in

the gas flow across the entire duct cross-section (cross-duct). The GM35 SR-unit

determines the concentration of the respective gas component based on wavelength-

specific light absorption by the gas mixture in the active measuring path.

Fig. 3: Optics layout for the GM35

The beam from the sender/receiver unit (SR-unit) passes lengthwise through the active

measuring path (see see “Fitting recommendation for the mounting flange (duct diameter

not representative)”, page 20) and is reflected by the reflector at the other end. The

reflected light from the beam splitter then passes through a filter or cell wheel to detectors

configured optionally to measure CO, N

O as well as CO

and H

O. By filtering the light

received into its spectral components, the receiver elements record the absorption of the

gas molecules at characteristic points of the spectrum in the IR range of 1.6 to 4.9 μm.

Cross-sensitivities with gases other than those to be measured are avoided by selecting

these evaluation ranges within the IR spectrum in conjunction with the evaluation algo-

rithms used (see “Signal evaluation”, page 15).

2.3.3 Automatic check cycles

To ensure a consistently high level of measuring precision, the GM35 SR-unit performs a

regular automatic check cycle in an adjustable interval (standard: Every 2 hours). In this

check cycle, the zero point is first determined by swiveling a zero point reflector into the

PROJECT PLANNING INFORMATION

3.2 Project Planning Checklist

Project planning, step by step

Technical data and dimensional drawings of system components, see “Technical Data,

Consumables and Spare Parts”, page 113 and following.

Topic Task Measure/determination

Determining the

measuring point

Observe national

regulations such as

VDI 3950.

Provide for unhindered inlet and outlet paths:

▸ For round duct cross-sections: 3 times the duct diameter

▸ For rectangular cross-sections: Hydraulic diameter

▸ If these specifications cannot be met: Inlet path > outlet path,

e.g.

; uniform concentration spread whenever possible

Emission measuring

point

▸ Obtain official approval for emission measuring point.

▸ Provide for calibration openings at easily accessible places.

▸ Ensure the GM35 and calibration probe do not influence

each other; the calibration gland should be located at a

minimum distance of 0.5 m upstream of the measuring

device.

Application conditions

▸ Observe Technical Data for duct/ambient conditions!

▸ Gas temperature above/below dew point (dry/wet)

Pressure conditions at

the measuring point

▸ A fitting location with partial vacuum in the duct is ideal.

▸ For duct pressures > 10 hPa/mbar, please contact SICK to

select the correct purge air blower type.

SR-unit, reflector

see “Assembly prepara-

tion at the measuring

point”, page 20.

Select suitable flange

with tube

● The flange is designed to be installed in steel ducts; suitable

flanges with tube are usually supplied with the GM35.

● Stone stacks or ducts with thick walls demand an onsite

retaining plate and, possibly, a longer version of the flange

with tube; see “Installing the flanges with tube”, page 21.

● If some of the components have not yet been delivered, you

may need to arrange an advance delivery of the flanges with

tube so that you can mount these as part of the

preparations for installation onsite.Alternatively, you can use

a suitable flange prepared onsite (or ANSI flange, check the

Technical Data, see see “Technical Data, Consumables and

Spare Parts”, page 113).

Select stack opening

▸ Provide an opening of suitable size for the flange tube.

▸ Provide for adequate clearance for installation and

maintenance activities for the duct insulation cutout.

▸ Plan clearances for handling the SR-unit, reflector.

▸ Ensure the ambient temperature for the SR-unit and

reflector is between –20 and +55 °C (–40 °C during

continuous operation).

▸ For installation outdoors, plan a weatherproof cover

Tools for start-up and

maintenance

● When working on the zero path; prerequisites: Clean

ambient atmosphere free from sample gas; weatherproof:

Plan the zero path or order from SICK.

PROJECT PLANNING INFORMATION

Purge air unit

see “Installation prepara-

tion for the purge air unit”,

page 24

Fitting location

selection

▸ Plan installation location on the duct in immediate vicinity

(5 m) of the GM35 SR-unit.

▸ Keep purge air hoses to the respective purge air fixture

(SR-unit, reflector) as short as possible (pressure drop per

meter, approx. 1.2 hPa/1.2 mbar).

▸ Ensure secure cable laying.

▸ Ensure dry and, whenever possible, dust-free intake air on

the purge air unit, use a preliminary filter when necessary.

▸ The intake air temperature should be between 0 and

55 °C. Heat the purge air when T < 0 °C; see air heater

option.

▸ For installation outdoors, plan a weatherproof cover.

Evaluation unit

see “Installation prepara-

tion for the evaluation

unit”, page 25

Determine the fitting

location

▸ Install the evaluation unit at an easily accessible location,

preferably at the measuring point. If necessary, install it at

a distance from the measuring point, whereby the total

length of all the CAN bus connections in the GM35

measuring system must not exceed 1000 m.

● Ambient temperature between –20 °C and +55 °C.

● During continuous operation –40 °C.

Options for CAN bus

wiring

▸ Is the 4 m CAN bus cable sufficient for the connection

between EvU and SR-unit at the selected installation

location?

If not, select a suitable cable (see see page 11):

▸ If the distance is less than 19 m: Plan a 15 m prefabricated

CAN bus cable with plug-in connectors.

▸ For larger distances: Use CAN bus terminal boxes and a

cable provided by the customer.

Assembly platform Specify the assembly

platform

▸ Provide a suitable working platform for installation on the

outside of a duct/stack.

▸ The fitting location of the GM35 SR-unit should be about

1.3 to 1.5 m above the platform.

▸ The platform must be large enough, secured and positioned

so that all device parts can be accessed without danger.

This is especially important when inserting and removing

the SR-unit or reflector.

Accident prevention Applicable (national) regulations on accident prevention must be observed.

Always observe and follow the relevant safety information provided for the

corresponding texts in these Instructions.

CAUTION: Protective measures at the measuring point

▸ Always shut down the installation before any work on the duct!

▸ Secure parts to be separated with, for example, wire binding, to prevent

damage by falling objects.

▸ Take appropriate protective measures against hot, explosive gases or toxic

gases that could possibly escape from the duct.

▸ If necessary, seal off the mounting flange with a cover securely until device

assembly (e.g. for overpressure in duct).
